New Zealand was once part of New South Wales [province of Australia]: <the Australian Constitution has a clause that says words to the effect of : "Should New Zealand request & decide to become a state of Australia, Australia cannot refuse the request". To the best of my knowledge, such a proposition has never been considered by New Zealanders. > Both were once part of England and "The Crown". New Zealand is still part of The Crown. But UK has booted NZ and NZers out of UK and NZ/NZers have voted themselves out as well. The Privy Council lineage was cut a few years ago. The Crown is the only legal link of which I'm aware. The Queen could come and live here and abandon the UK if they vote to boot her out, which many would like to do. I was unaware of an Australian constitutional requirement that NZ be readmitted if NZ chooses to do so. Norfolk Island is an interesting constitutional entity too. At present, Australia sort of claims it's Australian territory but I dispute that. I also claim [Palestinian style] right of return to Peckham, England. I also claim right of return to China. While I'm at it, I hereby claim right of return to Israel. We can all go back a lot of generations and claim right of return to all over the place. The world is quite a messy place, constitutionally, even if the constitutions are sort of settled. Some in the USA for example don't consider the president behaves totally constitutionally, despite swearing to uphold the constitution. Meanwhile, I have officially claimed Hawaii as a province of New Zealand/Cook Islands, which it was part of before being confiscated by USA. Mqurice
